  • Am I right in thinking that you, formerly,

  • Robbie Williams bad boy, you weren't that big

  • a Christmas fan?

  • I was more a New Year's Eve fan.

  • LAUGHTER

  • But now you're a dad and everything,

  • presumably that makes you Christmassy, doesn't it?

  • Yeah, so I was a kid and I loved it.

  • Then I was a teenager and it was sort of euphoric and amazing.

  • And then I did too much of that and then had to stop doing that

  • and then you're sort of left with all the blanks

  • that you're filling in.

  • And then Christmas is like, sort of...

  • # You should be happy now, really, really happy! #

  • And you're just going, "I'm not."

  • And then you sort that out for however many years it takes

  • to sort that out, then you meet your wife and she...

  • Then I meet your wife, which was weird.

  • I know!

  • No use for her.

  • LAUGHTER

  • I met my wife and she's just like a professional memory maker

  • and I've sort of been taken on this tidal wave

  • of just incredible memories that she creates.

  • Now we've got three kids and I absolutely love it again.

  • It's my favourite time of the year.

  • Aww. That's so cute.

  • APPLAUSE

  • And I also like Easter, so I'm putting out an Easter record too.

  • What's the thing about that you've invented Christmas traditions?

  • What's that about?

  • In America, our house is sort of like a British enclave,

  • is that what you call it?

  • It's just full of British people

  • and then my extended American family.

  • And we decided one day that we would make up a tradition

  • and fool our American family and friends

  • and it was called break the bread.

  • You have a baguette, and we say it's British

  • but the baguette's already French.

  • You get, like, two American people to hold it either end.

  • Then all the British people start going,

  • "Break the bread, break the bread, break the bread!"

  • Then you get somebody to karate chop

  • and then everybody goes, "Wahey!"

  • And everybody's drunk and you completely forget

  • about it until next Christmas, when the Americans come round

  • and go, "We're not going to break the bread?"

  • That beautiful tradition. Yeah.

  • It actually sounds quite fun.

Am I right in thinking that you, formerly,
